Individual parting notes to the tulpamancy community

[quandary_lions]

For most of our time in the community, we've acted and spoken in unison. Now that we're leaving at last, some of us had their own thoughts they wanted to share. All of them are in the comments below.

(Note: This particular post is meant just as a place for our group to compile our thoughts, so we've disabled messages from others.)

To the person at the center of this incident, if you are reading this:

I need to be honest with you. From what I have seen, I believe your behavior is in large part the product of uncontrolled mental illness. This is not something I say lightly, as someone who suffers from a number of disorders myself. However, your actions being the product of mental illness does not make them any less harmful. It does not absolve you of responsibility and it is not permission to continue in this sort of behavior.

Many of your mindsets and behaviors are strikingly reminiscent of both bipolar disorder and narcissistic personality disorder. There is hope for both--proper medication and therapy will go a long way towards bringing them under control. But for that to happen, you must be willing to take the steps necessary, to commit to a path of recovery. If you genuinely feel remorse over your actions, then leave the community behind--completely--and seek professional treatment.

I am not sure if you will listen. There have been multiple cases of you seeking and being given advice like this, only to ultimately ignore it. But if you do listen, if you do seek to bring both yourself and your life back under control, then good luck.

Don't contact us again.
